I recently spoke with Mark Bialczak, writer for The Post-Standard who covers the Central New York music scene, and caught him up on what’s been going on with me the last several months.  Here’s what he published on his blog.  Thanks for the write-up, Mark!

KAZI – Austin, TX – 88.7 FM – KAZI has recently added some of my songs to their playlist, and this Tuesday, July 1st, they will be featuring me in their “Artist Spotlight” from 5:00 – 6:00 pm ET. During the hour not only will they will be featuring various songs from the album, but I will be calling in to do an on-air interview with DJ Sharon J. Only two weeks ago their “Artist Spotlight” was Usher, so needless to say, this is especially cool. So people in the Austin area, be sure to tune in to 88.7 FM if you want to hear my first radio interview…hopefully the start of many more. Wish me luck.

I can’t believe it’s here. Finally, the release of my first solo album! Acting as not only the artist, but also the composer!
